Chapter 33: The Auction (6)

"This time, our lot is a manor in the name of a certain nobleman, located in the south of the city, only 5 miles away from the imperial capital, close to the beautiful Mirror Lake, with its own horse farm and nearby mountain forest hunting ground [Morlist Manor]......"

Smugly glancing at the restless venue below, Rebecca continued to explain

"I want to hear the name, many people have already guessed the name of the seller...... Of course, this is not the point, the point is that although the manor is located outside the city, you must not worry about security, the great Knights of Glory and other soldiers patrol regularly every day, which is enough to ensure the peace of the manor."

"Far away from the hustle and bustle, beautiful scenery, covering a vast area, [Morrist Manor] will be the first choice of every top person, the starting price is 100,000 gold coins, each increase is not less than 5,000 gold coins, believe me, for any cost of it, it will make you feel that it is worth the money, I don't think any lady can refuse the invitation of the owner of the manor......"

After shouting the starting price, Rebecca licked her moist red lips, and her seductive eyes made people think about it

"100,000"

As the first shout began, the atmosphere was also stirred, and the price of the thin piece of paper representing the ownership of [Morrist Manor] was quickly pushed to the price of 200,000 gold coins

**********************

In the box, the Duke of Lancaster explained to everyone with a smile

"Alston should also know who this manor belonged to...... The southern nobles are getting more and more troublesome, and this old guy probably can't hold back some ideas, not to mention the fiefdom, he will be willing to sell the manor that has been in business for many years, is this made up his mind to stand in line? ”

Shaking his head, the duke said to Leo, "But Rebecca is not wrong about one thing, this manor is definitely worth the money to buy, you must know that even the royal family is very interested in it, Leo, as a big nobleman, you should also have a set of properties in the imperial capital"

"Yes, I agree with the words of His Excellency the Duke, although I don't want you to move away, but Leo, for you, a luxurious manor is also a decent ...... for you as a nobleman."

Auston also persuaded beside him, politely nodding to the two of them to express his gratitude, Leo understood that whether it was Auston as a friend or the duke, it was completely for him to consider in this regard, of course, even without the persuasion of the two, he was determined to win this manor

Leo looked at Elena gently, "Honey, I hope you enjoy this manor......"

"But it's too expensive, I miss you, huh...... Maybe we can find a mansion in the Imperial Capital, in the Imperial Capital, that is also in line with your identity......"

For Elena's suggestion, Leo smiled and shook his head gently, no matter in terms of geographical location or secrecy, [Morist Manor] is its best choice

After calling Batar, Leo was just about to instruct his butler to make a bid, and someone in the other box had already made the first move, and Rebecca shouted with a flush of excitement

"300,000 gold coins, the generous offer comes from the box belonging to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, praise Your Royal Highness, you are really a gentleman with high connoisseurship!"

Grinning, Leo seemed to have Perran's arrogant face in front of him again, what about the second prince, there is only one rule for the competition in the auction hall, that is, the amount of wealth

Leo instructed the butler who was waiting respectfully

"Dear Batar, I grant you the right to raise the price on my behalf for the time being, there is only one rule, no matter who asks, I hope my offer will always be the highest one, see what I mean? Go ahead and tell the servant outside the door, 500,000 gold coins, this is my first bid"

"As you wish, honorable master" The good training made Batar's heart frightened, but he did not hesitate to act, and after saluting, he turned and walked directly out of the door

"500,000...... Leo, you make me feel really old, but I'd love to see what Rolfe looks like in the box next to me, haha"

The Duke was a little surprised by Leo's courage to directly increase the price, not that the Lancaster family would be surprised by this amount of gold coins, but what made him sigh was Leo's attitude of not caring about gold coins

Without any hesitation or pretense of generosity, Leo's attitude towards money calmly made the Duke a little afraid

When the new offer reached Rebecca's hand, even she trembled with excitement when she looked at the numbers, and without hesitation, Rebecca shouted again

"500,000 gold coins, the latest bid is from the Lancaster family's box, from a guest of His Excellency the Honorable Duke, God, even I am now in the urge to meet this guest, he must be a young handsome gentleman, and unusually rich......"

"This woman is shameless, Leo, I hate her!" The more Elena looked at Rebecca, the more unpleasant she became, pouting her mouth and puffing out a little angrily

Shrugging, Leo couldn't do anything about it, he wasn't going to let the auction house change the host or do something else just because someone else said something

**********************

I don't know what kind of purpose Rolf has, or if it's just for the sake of dignity, after several rounds of price increases with Leo, the price of the manor has been shouted ......

"700,000 ...... The latest offer from His Royal Highness Rolf, 700,000 gold coins, I can't help but wonder now whether the Duke's guests will be able to continue, knowing that this amount is ......"

Without waiting for Rebecca to finish her nonsense, at Leo's motion, Batar raised his chin and said to the more respectful servant at the door

"800,000, this is my master's latest bid, use your fastest speed to pass up"

The price has reached this point, it can be said that it has exceeded the value of the manor itself, except for the Duke of Lancaster, who is still observing Leo with a calm face, the rest of the people are a little anxious

Auston even directly advised, "Leo, there's no need, you can almost buy two similar estates at this price, you don't need to compete with Rolfe, a madman."

"Rolf? No, it has nothing to do with him, dear Auston, you know that the value of things in themselves is different from everyone else, and for me, it's just that I need this estate, it's just a very simple thing."

Explained to his friend with a smile that after hearing the latest offer of Rolf reaching 850,000 from Batal, Leo frowned slightly, and was a little impatient in his heart, and ordered directly

"1 million, Batar, directly increase the price to 1 million gold coins, let me see how much money you have to compete with me, respected highness"

After a moment of squirming in his throat, Batar finally turned around without saying a word to post his master's latest offer, but the horror in his heart was like a monstrous wave, and this amount of gold coins could probably buy a block in the imperial capital

Sure enough, when Rebecca read out the latest offer in a trembling voice, the figure of 1 million gold coins was accurately transmitted to everyone's ears through the amplification effect of the internal building of the venue

The nobles could no longer care to remain reserved, and continued to let out all kinds of exclamations, and began to inquire about who the mysterious guest of the Duke was, and some noblewomen covered their chests and fainted in shock, which caused further confusion

You must know that in this era, even if an ordinary baron is desperately searching in the territory, he can get up to tens of thousands of gold coins a year, and if a nobleman like Lester is kind, he will get even less

1,000,000 gold coins is enough for such a small nobleman to go through the accumulation of generations, or even dozens of generations, before it is possible to reach ......

Standing up and looking at the chaos below, the Duke said to Leo with a wry smile

"I'm afraid many people have already guessed your identity, Leo, I'm afraid what you did this time will make you more famous, I'm afraid all kinds of troubles will be indispensable in the future......"

Gently holding Elena's soft little hand, Leo, who was comforting a little scared girl, raised his head and smiled, "It doesn't matter, I have the confidence to protect my wealth, and besides, you and my other friends will definitely help me, right......" Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info)
